Tour Overview:
Step into the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—a world-leading hub of scientific excellence, intellectual intensity, and transformative innovation. Home to just over 2,000 students, Caltech’s small size belies its outsized global impact, with alumni and faculty including 40+ Nobel laureates, pioneers in quantum physics, AI, and planetary exploration.
The tour begins at Beckman Auditorium, one of Caltech’s architectural icons, and continues through campus highlights such as the Millikan Library, Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) exhibit areas. You’ll pass through serene courtyards and garden walkways that offer surprising contrast to the high-stakes research taking place within the labs.
Explore the Athenaeum, a historic social hub where Einstein once stayed, and discover student traditions such as interhouse “Ditch Day” pranks, donut-fueled problem sets, and midnight fountain runs. Walk through Fleming House, Ricketts, and other student residences that anchor Caltech’s legendary house system—communities built around both academic support and engineered mischief.
Your student guide will share behind-the-scenes stories of daily life, explain how undergraduates engage in cutting-edge research from their first year, and offer a window into Caltech’s unspoken motto: “The truth shall make you free, but first it will make you sweat.”
Whether you dream of engineering spacecraft, decoding genomes, or pushing the boundaries of computation, this tour will immerse you in the singular world of Caltech—where rigorous inquiry, bold imagination, and collaborative curiosity come together to solve the universe’s most complex puzzles.
